Here are the top stories today in Reno:
- Union leaders and the Washoe County contractor that operates Reno's regional bus system are headed back to the bargaining table to try to negotiate the end of a nearly two-week-old strike. Discussions include a proposal by the company to change the way drivers' routes and schedules are decided. (KOLO)
- The entire state of Nevada is currently under some level of drought, but one local company is looking to save water — billions of gallons' worth a year. Incline Village-based Halogen Systems has developed sensors that can detect issues in wastewater streams without pulling directly from the supply. (KUNR Public Radio)
- The Marr Plan, an organization protesting wild horse roundups in Nevada, will host a motorcade from Reno to Carson City on Saturday, Oct. 16 starting at 9 a.m. Event organizers said that the 31-mile drive represents the length of a single file line of 20,000 horses, the number of wild horses that the Bureau of Land Management has the capacity to round up annually.
